EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-In the issue of
your very readable paper of July 2Sth,
appears in the editorial columns a crit
icism upon an article which appeared in
the Wilmington Star OF the week before,

Objectionable utterance Ito NE at least as a

the infalibility of Grover Cleveland, as
does the Irish Catholic in that of the Pope,
this showing is doubtless surprise

would be to say the least of it a still greater
surprise when it is already known to the
intelligent people of the civilized world

ANOTHER RAILROAD FOR HENDERSON,
A railroad from Durham to Henderson. or
some other point on the II. Il CT. r. R., is
the latest project. The Raleigh & CASTOR
people are at the back of it, and it is sure
the road will be built, and that SOON The
question for Henderson to consider then is,
shall the road come here? Can she afford
to have it go elsewhere? This is matter
the people will soon be called upon to de-
eide at the ballot boX-whether or not the
town will vote subscription to the road as
an inducement to have it come here, instead
of Franklinton or some other point. Maj.
Winder, General Manager of the Il. Il g.
Il. R., was here yesterday and an infOr-
NAL meeting of citizens and tax payers of
the town was held at the lyceum Hall, for
the purpose of hearing from him on the
subject, and ascertaining what proposition
it was likely the company represented by
him would entertain from US.
Notwithstanding the short notice given
the meeting was largely attended, all
businesses and trades and professions being
represented, and the sentiment of the
meeting seemed TO be unanimously in favor
of the road. Maj. Winder made a state
ment saying the road would certainly be
built from Durham, and within a short
while but its terminus at this end had not
yet been decided upon. 1t could be built
cheaper to FranklintO,, or some neighbOr-
ing point than to Henderson, but it SUI
ficient Inducements should be held out to
them to come to Henderson the company
of course wOuld do so. Mai. Windcr was
free to answer all questions and did 50
readily explaining everything in candid
open manner
/ y committee was appointed to confer with
Maj, WindeI on the subject and determine
as to what amount, and the conditions upon
which the same should be subscribed, by
Henderson. Said committee was composed
of our most intelligent business men, larg.
est property owners and biggest taxpayers
Ii was unanimously agreed to vote a sub
Scription of $40, 900 10 the capital stock of
the Durham & Northern Railroad, the
amount not to be given as a bonus but tC

/ valuable it will pay premium i'll diyi-

That is to say, your lungs. Also all your
breathing machinery. Very wonderful ma
chinery it is. Not only the larger air-pas-
sages, but the thousands of little tubes and
cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked with
matter which ought not to be there, your
lungs cannot half do their work. And
what they do. they cannot do we'll.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,

THE PRESS ASSOCIATION AGAIN.

SO far, the only editorial notice we have
seen of the press meeting in Henderson
Vile are those in the State Chronicle and
the Durham Tobacco Plant. Neither account
makes the gathering as large and enthu-
siastic as it should have been, but there is
a vast difference in the tone of the two let
ters. That the convention should have
accomplished less than was anticipated is
certainly cause of regret to those of us
who could not attend, but it was under
stood the meeting was to be as much for
recreation and pleasure as for business,
and it was hardly % be expected ali ell
jOyment would be eSchewed and our
knights of the quill would assume the dig
nified austerity of Roman Senators or
cowled Preist. Nor can we endorse the
spirit which condemns the meeting for fail
ing.to do zone good thing when the accuser
was himself prominent feature in that
meeting. If the press hurls its disappoint-
ments and anathemas upon the head of its
own organization it is easy to tell what
will be its fate.

perseverance that will insure success in
any line of business he may follow, we
